Grivița

Located near Gara de Nord, their history dates back to the late decades of the 19th century, when they were developed in order to perform maintenance and overhaul of railway equipment serving Căile Ferate Române.

In honor of this victory, Calea Târgoviștei, a street in Bucharest that led to the road that connected the capital with the city of Târgoviște, is renamed Calea Griviței.

What initially started only to serve the city of Bucharest and the surrounding areas, grew over time into a cornerstone of the entire railway industry of Romania.

In the interwar period, after the start of the Great Depression in Romania, Grivița Railway Yards also become a focal point of the labor movement.

The Grivița Strike of 1933 and its violent repression by the authorities are still remembered in Romania.
